A QUAKER EXPERIMENT

IN GOVERNMENT

BY ISAAC SHARPLESS
PRESIDENT OF HAVERFORD COLLEGE

"For my country I eyed the Lord in the obtaining of
it, and more was I drawn inward to look to him and to
owe it to his hand and power, than to any other way. I
have so obtained it and desire that I may not be un-
worthy of his love and do that which may answer his
kind providence and serve his truth and people; that an
example inay be set up to the nations; there may be room
there though not here for such a holy experiment."
WILLIAM PENN,
